Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Daniels from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. CJ Daniels had no business being available in the 206th overall pick, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Luckie left real value on the table behind him.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 6 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 28th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew is a better player than pick 70 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the 107th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney in Round 5, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.C. Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Keylan Rutledge
A tidy little value on Keylan Rutledge in No. 147, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 206 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
They went early on Lawson Luckie in the 248th pick, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
